In 1993 the Minnesota Department of Health set a health risk limit for ethyl ether in groundwater of 1.00 mg/L. Suppose an analytical chemist receives a sample of groundwater with a measured volume of 64.0 mL. Calculate the maximum mass in micrograms of ethyl ether which the chemist could measure in this sample and still certify that the groundwater from which it came met Minnesota Department of Health standard Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

As part of the aspirin synthesis lab the orgo students also had to perform the following calculation to demonstrate their knowledge. Are you able to help them work this out? Saponification is a process in which soap is produced from the chemical reaction between animal fat (triglycerides) and a strong base such as KOH. An example of such balanced chemical reaction is shown here: C51H98O6 + 3KOH → C3H5(OH)3 + 3C16H31O2K (Triglyceride) (Soap) if during the saponification reaction 231.5 g of C51H98O6 is mixed with 231.5 g of KOH and 160 g of soap is produced. Calculate the theoretical yield of soap C16H31O2K and indicate who is the limiting reactant. (Provide your answer to 2 decimal places) Calculate the percent yield for this reaction (Provide your answer to 1 decimal place) *Show ALL steps and mathematical equations involved in your calculations to help the orgo students.

Many common materials that we ingest, though quite safe in reasonable quantities, become toxic when taken in very large doses. A measure of toxicity is the LD50 value (Lethal Dose, 50%). It is the quantity of material, expressed in mg of material per kg of subject-body-weight that, if administered to a population of subjects, would cause 50% of the population to die. The LD50 value for FD&C Red Dye No. 40 is >10,000 mg/kg in rats. Assume that the LD50 value for humans is the same as for rats. Calculate the number of mg of Allura Red present in an 8 fluid ounce glass of the beverage you used in this lab. Assume that the concentration of Allura Red in the beverage is 0.000054 M. The molar mass of Allura Red is 496.42 grams/mol 1 fl oz = 29.5735 mL Do not include units with your answer.

After creating her standard curve for absorption versus the concentration (M) of FD&C Red 40 and processing her data, Sally found that her drinking strength Kool-Aid sample had a concentration of 4.692 x 10–5 M. If 0.132 grams of Kool-Aid powder was used to prepare an 8-fl oz cup of her assigned flavor, what is the percent by mass of FD&C Red 40 in her Kool-aid powder? Report your answer as a percentage with two places after the decimal. Do not include the percentage sign in your answer. Pay attention to units. You are trying to find the mass percentage of red dye, so you need to know each variable in the equation in Appendix B. Note that the percent by mass equation should be multiplied by 100. There may be some useful conversion factors in the experimental procedure.
